At the same time, Peter was groaning and moaning on a bed at Riverton General.


    He was unable to move with his entire arm stered, while Gina was sobbing, her heart broken. ” What


    happened, Peter? Who hurt you?”


    Sean added indignantly, “Tell me who it is. I will settle the score for you.”


    “Who else?!” Peter cried. “It’s that b*st*rd Frank Lawrence!”


    Helen was taken aback. “But Frank’s been at Verdant Hotel the whole time…”


    “He sent his goons after me!” Peter growled through his teeth.


    In reality, Barney gave him a thorough beating just as he was ready to join them at Verdant Hotel.


    While Barney himself did tell Peter that Frank sent him, Peter did not mention the fact that he sent


    Barney to hurt Frank in the first ce.


    Even so, only Helen found his story suspicious. “Why would Frank send people after you?”


    She knows that Frank was not that petty and would not have Peter beaten up just because he did not


    like him.


    Peter started to stammer right then, “H–He’s jealous of me… What other reason is there?”


    However, Helen could see that he was averting his eyes as well. “Is there something you’re not telling


    us?”


    Peter’s face fell, and he shrieked, “What are you saying Helen?! You’d rather trust a stranger than


    me?!”


    Gina too snapped impatiently, “Helen, are you implying Peter is going to lie to you? Why do you keep


    siding with outsiders, really?”


    Exasperated, Helen gave a nomittal response. “Fine, I believe you, alright?”


    However, she made a mental note to ask Frankter.


    On the other hand, Sean was thumping his chest and assuring Peter, “Don’t worry, Peter. I’ll avenge


    you when there’s a chance.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Wesley!” Peter was beside himself with emotion. “You’re more a brother–inw than


    Frank Lawrence ever was!”


    Afterwards, Sean tried to get Helen to the hotel again, but she insisted on staying with Peter.


    Sean was left fuming, but it was clear that he would not get Helen alone to himself.


    Early the next morning, Frank woke up and finished his usual training regime, dressed, and took a

    cab to Riverton Hotel.


    ording to his calctions, Gerald’s condition would deteriorate in three days, and he needed a pill


    to fully recover.


    Arriving at the pharmacy, he paid and waited for them to get him his ingredients when a familiar voice


    called out from behind, “Frank? What are you doing here?”


    Frank turned to see that it was Helen and replied tly, “Getting some medicine.”


    Helen checked to ensure there was no one else around, before asking, “Did you send someone to


    break Peter’s arm?”


    “I did,” Frank replied, nodding.


    “W–Why would you do that?” Helen demanded, feeling pained.


    Frank shrugged. “He sent that thug after me first, but I gave the thug a beatdown instead. It’s only


    natural that I made sure I return your brother’s favor, though.”


    Helen was left gritting her teeth in frustration and stamping her feet. “I knew Peter wasn’t telling the


    truth–I’m sorry if I got a little emotional.”


    Still, she suddenly looked into Frank’s eyes and asked. “So… Where were you staying yesterday?”


    “The penthouse suite of Verdant Hotel,” Frank replied.


    Helen clenched her knuckles without knowing it. “With Vicky Turnbull?”
